THE NEW iPad

MANILA, Philippines—The long wait is over. The new iPad is finally in the Philippines, and Tattoo is out to prove its broadband supremacy by being the one to bring the hottest tablet to town and bundling it with a bunch of cool stuff: exclusive freebies, more-value-for-money plans, and an unbeatable browsing experience.

Held at the Exchange Plaza in Ayala Triangle last May 29, the launch of the Tattoo-new iPad bundle gathered excited techies, Apple fans, and top celebrities, who all wanted to see and try the tablet before everyone else.

“Tattoo is very pleased to bring to our subscribers the hottest tablet and the must-have device right now, which is the new iPad,” said Dong Ronquillo, head for Tattoo nomadic broadband business of Globe.

“The strength of Tattoo as the number one broadband in the Philippines combined with the amazing features of the new iPad is a perfect match,” Ronquillo added. “Tattoo provides the best service and experience to our subscribers and so much more with unbeatable offers, freebies and discounts so that they live without limits. The new iPad, with Tattoo, brings to users a totally new, leveled-up experience!”

By now, a lot of people already know why the new iPad is a must-have: it has a monster resolution (thanks to its 3.1 million pixels Retina Display) that will definitely keep you glued to it; uninterrupted surfing, video-watching, and music-listening for up to 10 hours is possible; and its Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound feature will just blow you away.
